A much more comfortable day today following yesterdays humidity. Looking ahead, the coming weekend looks reasonable, quite warm, but with more unsettled conditions next week and below average temperatures.
I had a lengthy appointment at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital today, therefore I gathered a few widely scattered records beginning with some casual observations in and from the garden.
Early morning in the garden saw a juvenile Robin on the lawn, also a juvenile Blackbird fed upon provided apples. Overhead a single male Greenfinch performed its song-flight and a single Lesser Black-backed Gull passed by. House Sparrows in the hedge gave an alarm call, this alerted me to the presence of a raptor, seconds later a single Hobby passed through at speed, as it turned the early sun caught its beautiful all-grey upperparts. About an hour later, another, or possibly the same Hobby flew at speed and in a shallow dive, clearly a hunting bird.
At the hospital the car park held Pied Wagtail and a singing Blackcap.
